Hi everyone,
We uncovered a bug that affects Athena and friends. When SCIM is running, Perl/Tk programs do not respond to keyboard events.
These reports have more information:

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=309794
(Googled for those links. We were running an up-to-date Ubuntu.)
This affected Horae 066 and I've not yet tested the latest release.
Hope this helps,
Greg
P.S. - Now googling the symptoms should be useful. I donĀ“t expect a fix, since the problem is upstream.
